Chapter 21: Her Little Legs Had Not Transformed Into a Tail!

What’s more, Gu Tingwei possessed the innate ability to infuriate children.

One time, when Yu Jiaojiao had arrived late, she’d found Gu Tingwei fighting with the kids in the class next door.

She’d heard that the other kid had started the fight. Fortunately, Gu Tingwei hadn’t suffered any harm.

Yu Jiaojiao cast a meaningful look at Mo Heng, signaling for him to hurry up and leave with Tangtang.

As a result, Mo Heng barely moved when he heard Gu Tingwei say, “Mom, I’m willing to let her sit in my class.”

Yu Jiaojiao, “!!!!”

She was a distinguished “veteran” actress, and yet she wasn’t able to disguise her surprise when she heard what Gu Tingwei said. She could only stare at him in shock.

What did he just say?

Not only did Gu Tingwei usually treat small kids with disdain, but also he even saw them as little monsters and bastards!

What was going on?

Mo Heng was overjoyed, and he hurriedly called Tangtang over. “Tangtang, quickly thank big brother here. He’s allowing you to attend class with him.”

Tangtang had just set down the pretty unicorn plushy she’d been holding and was now hugging a carrot in her arms.

The carrot plushy was extremely realistic. The gluttonous Tangtang drooled with her mouth open, ready to take a hearty bite out of it. When Mo Heng suddenly called her, she lifted her head up curiously. Following which, her saliva slid down the corner of her mouth and dripped down onto the carrot.

Big Brother wanted her to thank the little brother.

The obedient Tangtang was coming—

With the carrot in her arms, Tangtang trotted over to Gu Tingwei on her stubby little legs.

Just as she was one meter away from Gu Tingwei, Tangtang suddenly heard Gu Tingwei’s inner musings—

“A mermaid! She’s a mermaid!!”

Tangtang, “…”

She stopped abruptly, her jelly-like cheeks bouncing. The little girl hugged the carrot and stared at Gu Tingwei in shock.

One second later, she examined her own little legs in a fluster.

Her little legs hadn’t transformed into a tail, though!

Then, she stretched out a hand and touched the crown of her head.

Her little coral circlet hadn’t appeared!

Boohoo… How did this good-looking big brother realize that she was a mermaid?

She thought about how every time her imperial parents had put her to bed, they would always tell her that bad people would take her away if she was disobedient.

Big Brother Mo Heng had also mentioned that bad people would take her away for dissection experiments!

Boohoo… How scary!

Tangtang hugged the carrot tightly. She was tiny, weak, pitiful, and helpless.

When Yu Jiaojiao caught sight of this scene, she sighed.

Gu Tingwei truly had the unique ability to scare little children.

It was rare for Gu Tingwei to be so accepting of children. Yu Jiaojiao took the chance to console her. “Baby, don’t be frightened. Big brother here isn’t a bad person.”

Tangtang tilted her head and stared at Gu Tingwei, her eyes full of doubt.

Yu Jiaojiao encouraged Gu Tingwei, “Wei Wei, go and hold little sister’s hand. Tell her that you’re not a bad person.”

Gu Tingwei took two steps forward.

Yu Jiaojiao was elated! Yes yes yes, that’s right! This is your first step into society.

Tangtang was so petrified that she stood rooted to the spot. She raised her tiny face, only to reveal a set of shriveled lips. Her large eyes were shrouded with mist.

As she watched Gu Tingwei approach her, she reluctantly offered the carrot in her hand in an attempt to get on his good side. “Big Brother… Carrot… For you…”

Yu Jiaojiao was worried.

Someone else’s little girl had once gifted Gu Tingwei a soft toy. She’d meant well, but unfortunately, Gu Tingwei never played with soft toys, and he also suffered from germophobia.

This carrot was even slathered in this little girl’s saliva!

Gu Tingwei would reject it for sure!

However, against all expectations, Yu Jiaojiao saw with her own two eyes Gu Tingwei accept Tangtang’s carrot.

Yu Jiaojiao, “???”

Was this some kind of joke??

Luck had come too abruptly.

Ah ah ah… Her son’s second step into society—accepting presents.

Just as motherly appreciation surfaced on Yu Jiaojiao’s face, she suddenly heard Gu Tingwei ask, “Are you a mermaid?”

Tangtang, “!!!!!”

Mo Heng, “!!!!”

Yu Jiaojiao, “!!!”

The three of them were shocked.
